pylint in vscode does not behave the same as command line

Hello,

When running pylint within vscode, it does not behave the same as the command line version of pylint even though I have configured vscode to use the same settings file. Can you please help me understand why it differs and correct it?

Version Info

ms-python.python: v2020.8.108011

vscode:

Version: 1.49.0

Python: 3.8.1 pylint: 2.6.0 Virtual environment: virtualenv

Settings

Here’s the relevant settings from my vscode settings.json:

  "python.pythonPath": "~/.pyenv/shims/python",
  "python.linting.pycodestylePath": "~/.pyenv/shims/pycodestyle",
  "python.linting.pylintPath": "~/.pyenv/shims/pylint",
  "python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers": false,
  "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
    "--rcfile=setup.cfg"
  ],

My python setup.cfg is:

[pylint]
disable = W0703
max-line-length = 90

Results

When I run pylint from the command line, I get this:

$ pylint --rcfile=setup.cfg ssmpsm.py
************* Module ssmpsm
ssmpsm.py:131:0: C0301: Line too long (95/90) (line-too-long)
ssmpsm.py:163:0: C0301: Line too long (95/90) (line-too-long)
ssmpsm.py:181:0: C0301: Line too long (98/90) (line-too-long)
ssmpsm.py:152:4: R1703: The if statement can be replaced with 'var = bool(test)' (simplifiable-if-statement)
ssmpsm.py:147:0: R0912: Too many branches (14/12) (too-many-branches)

When pylint runs within vscode, it does not display R1703 and R0912 as per this screen shot:

If I change the max-line-length in setup.cfg, vscode does honour that setting in setup.cfg.

Expected Behaviour

I would expect vscode to behave the same way as the command line in with my current configuration.

Do you have this setting checked or unchecked?:

We now have a new pylint extension (currently in pre-release) that provides greater control over some of the settings. It also runs in server mode so it should perform better in most scenarios. Please have a look https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.pylint

With that extension you can control individual error codes if you need to like this:

{ 
    "convention": "Information", 
    "error": "Error", 
    "fatal": "Error", 
    "refactor": "Hint", 
    "warning": "Warning", 
    "info": "Information",
    "W0611": "Error", 
    "undefined-variable": "Warning"
}
